In this blog we will utilize playwright-java to download a file and save it at temporary as well as specific location.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/ins>\n<\/div>\n
Topics that we will cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
File download at default\/temporary location<\/li>\n
File download at specific desired location (inside playwright project)<\/li>\n
File download example from chromedriver storage<\/li>\n
Source code (default download path)<\/li>\n
Source code (specific download path)<\/li>\n
Source code (chromedriver storage)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
File download at default temporary location<\/strong><\/p>\n
Playwright Java allows us to easily download files from a test website page.<\/p>\n
Go to the website<\/p>\n
https:\/\/the-internet.herokuapp.com\/download<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are many test files on this page as shown below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Inspect any file, say for example \u2018json.json\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0The function ‘waitForDownload()<\/em>‘ can be utilized to guarantee that playwright waits until the download is finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By calling the ‘waitForDownload()’ function, you will receive an object of type ‘Download’ \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n\n
\u00a0The lambda function in the above code performs the \u2018click\u2019 operation to download the file\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute, note below that file gets downloaded<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Logging the URL of the downloaded file can be done as shown below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute.<\/p>\n
The console displays the file URL, including the filename<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0The file gets downloaded to the default path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We can make use of the \u2018path\u2019 method to find out the temporary location of the file during runtime\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute.<\/p>\n
The temporary path being displayed in the console can be observed below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0File download at specific desired location (inside playwright project)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u2018saveAs<\/em>\u2019 method can be used to download a file at specific location inside playwright project\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute and refresh project.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The zip file is downloaded inside project<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0To download it inside src\/test\/resources\/files\/<\/em> folder, simply change the path as shown below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0File download example from chromedriver storage<\/strong><\/p>\n
Go to<\/p>\n
https:\/\/chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com\/index.html?path=102.0.5005.27\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let us try to download the highlighted zip file<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute the code, notice that the file gets downloaded<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0So this is how we can download the files using playwright.<\/p>\n
